Aside from having leftovers in the freezer, ready for easy meals, this meal is one of my favourite go-to's for those nights where I know I'm going to be rushed for time or I'm getting home late.
It saves my sanity and helps get food on the table fast for my family.
Originally I used to make this meal without the chicken, but over the years have added the chicken as per hubby's request and I must admit, it does add a whole heap of extra flavour to the meal.
This is an easy meal to double and is really nice the next day either cold or warmed up.
Sometimes I like to add some baby spinach leaves to it so that I'm adding something fresh to the meal when eating as leftovers.

This meal is such a quick and easy meal that can be made using a few pantry staples. I always keep a pack of grated Parmesan cheese in the freezer to ensure freshness.
